Ram Mandir Nirman Samiti chairman Nripendra Mishra reviewed the construction work of the temple on Sunday. He also inspected the ongoing works. After this, he told the journalists that the construction of the first floor of the Ram temple is 90 percent complete. The first floor will be completely ready by next July. After this, Ram Darbar will be established on the first floor. The construction of the Ram temple including the rampart will be completed by March 2025.
Nripendra said that the idols of Ram Darbar to be installed on the first floor will be made of marble. For this, talks have been held with four sculptors of Rajasthan. Tender has also been issued. The tender will be opened by the end of this month. Then the sculptor will be selected for the idol making. Despite the scorching heat, devotees are flocking to Ramlala’s court. Various facilities have been developed for the devotees from Ramjanmabhoomi Path to the temple premises. At present, one lakh devotees are visiting Ramlala’s court daily. After Pran Pratishtha, about two crore people have attended Ramlala’s court so far. In the first day’s meeting, the progress of Ram temple construction was reviewed and the construction of museum was discussed.
After the news of ban on applying sandalwood tilak and giving charanamrit in Ram Mandir went viral, the trust has denied it. Earlier on Saturday, Ram Mandir Trust member Dr. Anil Mishra had denied the viral news. He clearly said that there is no ban on applying sandalwood tilak and giving charanamrit in Ram Mandir. Now the chairman of the temple construction committee Nripendra Mishra has also issued a statement regarding this.
Nripendra Mishra, chairman of the construction committee, who reached Ayodhya to attend the meeting of Ram Mandir Nirman Samiti, said on Sunday that it is misleading to say that chandan tilak and charanamrit are not being given. No restriction has been imposed. Everyone is being treated equally. Earlier also, devotees were not given chandan tilak and charanamrit because it is not possible. Only a few special people who came for darshan through the VIP route were given tilak. It is completely misleading to say that tilak and Bhagwan’s water i.e. charanamrit is not being given. No new restriction has been imposed.
